General Notes: The holy grail of Morgan dollars is none other than the 1895 proof, a coin that represents the only known Philadelphia-minted issues of the year. While 12,000 circulation strikes were reported, none have been accounted for. Thus, any coin collector who wants a truly complete collection of Morgan dollars must fork over tens of thousands of dollars (sometimes <i>many</i> tens of thousands of dollars) to buy a proof 1895 Morgan dollar. Some of these coins were spent as money, and thus it is possible to buy a more affordable 1895 proof Morgan – one that still costs much more than virtually any other circulated example in the series. <BR><BR> Several dozen example are certified in the better circulated grades, though the vast majority are uncirculated proofs. Most 1895 proof Morgan dollars do not boast cameo contrast, though a fairly large number do. DCAMs are rare but are notably more numerous for this issue than for many others. The vast majority grade between PR60-64, with a decent share in the PR65 and better grades. Those grading PR67 or higher are extremely rare.
